By News OfficeMarch 7, 2016

Aly Colón, the Knight Professor in Journalism Ethics at Washington and Lee, was quoted in a March 7 Washington Post article about Ted Cruz’s assertion that media outlets have delayed publishing damaging exposés on Donald Trump to influence the outcome of the Republican nomination. Colón suggested several possible reasons for Cruz’s claims, but noted that journalists would not usually share their plans with a candidate.
